8 Data Driven Approaches to Improve My Life
One approach that has helped me tremendously in the last couple of years is a data-driven approach to everything in my life.
I have been obsessed with personal growth and living an intentional life since 2019. I have been there — reading a bunch of productivity blogposts and books, binging to productivity podcasts and consuming every productivity video on YouTube.
Some of it helped, some did not. Most I forgot over time. Some comes back to me every now and then, when motivated. Only a few actually stuck around and became a part of my identity.
Having a data-driven approach to everything in life is one of those things that stuck.
Why Take Data Driven Decisions?
When you look at things through the objective lens of data and facts, things become less about feelings and emotions. You see straight. You understand better.
Most of the time there is no grey area. You won’t find it easy to rationalize where you are in life by blaming some esoteric thing.
Data lets you cut through what doesn’t matter, and shows you the reality.
Where you are in life right now is a result of every decision you took in the last couple of years. Data helps you track those decisions.
